Those who are at all skeptical about
the progress the colored race is making
in the south, should examine the re-
ports from the Florida State Colored
Fair held this spring. Over $500 90
worth of exhibits were made, showing
positive proof of progress in mechanical
and agricultural arts. The school
work exhibited attracted considerable
attention, as to showing the extent to
which the race is improving the edu-
cational privileges of the public schools.
The colored PEG. lie have raised funds to
establish an industrial school in Florida

\ TraInp's Luck

4 tramp called at house in a Chi
cago suburb few mornings ago and
asked for some cold victuaIs. He was
given plate of oatmeal mush, some
new dried pruneS, tomato and a sau-
Ger of hominy, the whole without seas
onipg of any KIND.
IL can't you let me have some milk,
and some sugar, salt and pepper2" in
quired the embarrassed tourist as he
surveyed the spread.
''MIlk IS not wholesome" replied
the lady of the house, sweetly, 'and we
never use condiments. l can let you
have some cracked wheat II you
like"
Haven't you any meatP"
90, no; We never use meat; it is not
ft for the human stomach. Would you
like some gruel?'
''Is this the kind of stuff you live
on?''
Certainly, my friend. Meats, seas
onings, gravies, condiments of all
kinds, and heating foJds have a ten

Drinking Buk.

The reason commonly given by ladies
why they do not like beer is that it is
$50 bitter" buy the real reason is that
women are rarely enabled to drink beer
under favorable circumstances. The
essence of beer lies in Its aromatic gas.
IL that is allowed to escape the beer
tastes stale, fiat and bitter. and gives
.Ese to headaches anu indigestion,
whereas with the gas 1t is palatable,
wholesome, and an aid to digestion.
To get it In this state it must be taken
from key freshly tapped and drank
on the spot without much delay; and
since women of the higher classes in
this country do not frequent localities
where beer is Kept on tap, they never
have an opportunity to find out how
good beer really tastes" for bottled
beer consumed at home is always vastly
interior TO keg beer. In Munich, how
ever, which is the paradise of beer
drinkers, women are as fond of beer as
men, because 1t is consi iered perfectly
proper for the best families to visit the
festively Illuminated beer gardens In
the evening. In Munich, too, every
mug and glass has I'D to prevent the
gas from escaping too rapidly. This gas
must not be confounded with the arti-
fetal foam which dishonest bartenders
produce i'll a glass by holding it far be-
low the faucet, a practice which not
only compelS the guest to pay for half
glass of empty foam, but which allows
the real gas to escape prematurely.

Gazing Into Shop Windows.

One young man WAS walking reflect
lively along, and the class of articles
that seemed to interest him were very
peculiar indeed. He stopped IN front
of a large display of laces and read
with great satisfaction the sign. prices
completely wrecked. Only five cents
yard" ''Cheap enough" he NUT
tured, and passed on by window after
window of smokers articles, beautiful
paintings, gentlemen's canes and hats,
till he came 70 a display OF ladies
gloves. Here he tarried a long time.
a while after he was standing in front
of a display of wall paper. What was
he thinking about and why was he
alone? Was he on the verge of some
mental Rubicon, the crossing of which
was connected in some way with the
prices of laces, gloves and wall paperf
Perhaps the most interesting obser-
vation of human nature that can be
taken during a walk by the shop win
dows. and one requiring no very keen
powers of perception, is afforded by
stepping up in front of any deserted
window. 1t Is not necessary that there
be ANYTHING on exhibition. Let there
ba nothing inside but a bare shelf.
stand there a moment gazing within
and soon somebody else will step up
beside you, then another. and within a
mrn,Ite or two there will be several.
The experiment can be repeated again
and again with uniform success,

The Alligator aud His VictuaIs.

An allgator's throat Is an animated
sewer. Everything which lodges i'll
his open mouth goes down. He is
lazy dog, and instead of hunting for
something to eat, he lets his victuals
hunt for him. That is, he lies with his
great mouth open, apparently dead,
like the 'poSsum. Soon a bug crawls
into it, then flY, then several gnats,
and colony of mosquitoes. The slli-
gator doesn't close his mouth yet; he is
waiting for a whole drove of things,
he does his eating by wholesale. a
little later q lizard Will cool himself
under the shade of the upper jaw; then
few frogs will hop up TO catch the
mosquitoes; then more mosquitoes and
gnats will light on the frogs. Finally,
whole village Of insects and reptiles
down for an afternoon picnic; then all
at once there is an earthquake; the
big jaw falls, the alligator blinks one
eye, gulp5 down the entire menagerIe,
and opens his great front door for
more visitors

COLD-BLOoDED HUMOR.
Anecdotes Tending to Show That
Some People Do Not Get Excited.

Our neighbors across the channel are
fond OF relating humorous little incl.
dents. Of sang-froid in which An Eng
lishman usually acts the role of chief
character. As for instance: A man en-
tered furniture shop and said: "Have
you any old furniture?" 'No. SIT; but
We can make you somei" This re-
minds US Of the Englishman in a rest
aurant who called for stale bread.
1--WE have none, my Lord" ''Make
some, then; L will wait, " was the calm
reply. Instances of remarkable cool
ness and assurance among adventures
''out West'' are only to be expected.
To begin with small example: A boy
who comes of a chronically borrowing
family went to neighbor's for a cup
of sour milk. 81 haven't got anything
but sweet milk. % said the woman, pet
tishly. "I'll wait till it sours," said
the obliglng youth, sinking into a
chair.
But in many of the cases now under
consideration foreigners of several ma
tlonalities will be found to have figured
conspicuously in the matter of taking
things coolly.
1t is related that a lady and gentle
man came to ferry, and the boatman
deputed his grandson to row them
across "Why do you not manage
your boat YOURSELF" asked the lady,
''instead of letting this child do it?''
''Oh, don't you be afraid, ma'am, :" an
swered the ferryman; "the lad can

Equally indifferent to the fate of
others was one of the sufferers by a
late railway accident. he was seen
rushing anxiously about, when some
one asked him if he was hurt sNo;
but L can't find my UMBRELLA
About a year ago, when the upper
part of an hotel was on fire, one of
the servant-girls was directed TO
awaken two gentlemen who were
asleep in an upstairs room. She
knocked at the door, and, with the
greatest simplicity, said: 81 beg par
don, gentlemen, for disturbing you,
but the house is on fire. This case of
what may be called ludicrous polite
ness brings to mind another. ''HI! you
dropped brick up therel" shouted a
pedestrian on whose shoulders one of
those articles had fallen from a three
story scaffold. "All right,' cheer
fully responed the brick-layer; "you
needn't take the trouble to bring it
up.'
'What's the matter?" aGked law
